She inherited a bookshop, a cottage, and a rabbit who keeps finding bodies.
When London archivist Clover Ashwood inherits her estranged grandmother's property in the Cotswolds, she's looking for a fresh start. The crumbling cottage needs work. The antique bookshop needs customers. And the village of Bramblevine Hollow is full of people who remember the Ashwood witch with uneasy respect.
Then she meets Bram.
The solicitor's letter mentioned one rabbit, with specific instructions for his care. What it didn't mention was that Bramwell Thornwood III is a three-pound Polish rabbit with ice-blue eyes, a velvet-lined travel basket, and the ability to walk through her dreams.
It also didn't mention that he's three hundred years old. Or that he's about to lead her straight to a dead body.
The village's most disagreeable antiques dealer is found murdered in the ancient standing stones, and Clover-the suspicious newcomer with a witch for a grandmother-is everyone's favorite suspect. With a skeptical inspector breathing down her neck and the village gossiping about curses, Clover must embrace abilities she never knew she had to clear her name.
But Bram's cryptic dream messages suggest the murder is connected to a stolen magical artifact. And someone in Bramblevine Hollow will kill again to keep it.
A Hare's Breadth from Death is the first book in The Thistle & Hare Mysteries, a paranormal cozy mystery series featuring a charming English village, a slow-burn romance, and a rabbit familiar who proves that the smallest guardians often have the biggest hearts-and the sharpest opinions.
Perfect for fans of Juliet Blackwell, Bailey Cates, and M.C. Beaton.
